Pass this along to anyone else who may be concerned about this issue
especially in the southern part of the state!

The bills referred to in this email are the ones which you may have
heard of on the radio or in print: for the first time ever, they
would allow for public lands--in this case the "insurgent" Douglas County's
park and forest lands--to be condemned by Eminent Domain upon request
from a PRIVATE CORPORATION, in this case the American Transmission
Company, to build their huge transmission line though Wisconsin's
wetlands and forest lands.

If this bill is passed NO local public land, park or forest would be
off limits from new transmission lines and may actually be targeted
because of the ease the new bill provides to take it.

Governor Doyle (a Democrat, oddly enough) has indicated willingness
to sign this giveaway of public lands to the corporate interests.You shouldn't need me to tell you that this is a complete sellout by this
governor to the ATC corporation.

The Governor has lamely stated that "we" need to allow this
corporation to have its way, or else face energy shortages in the future. These
statements assume there is no other way than centralized power
production and distribution, when in fact you probably realize there
is a perfectly viable alternative, called renewable energy production
close to the end-user. Locally produced, locally distributed. Simple
alternative.

Please call or fax Governor Doyle and tell him to veto this
ill-advised bill.
